Today's Quote

“As parents, we should remember that our lives may be the book from the family library which the children most treasure. Are our examples worthy of emulation? Do we live in such a way that a son or a daughter may say, ‘I want to follow my dad,’ or ‘I want to be like my mother’? Unlike the book on the library shelf, the covers of which shield its contents, our lives cannot be closed. Parents, we truly are an open book in the library of learning of our homes.” Thomas S Monson

Jacob's Blessing


We Blessed Jacob in Utah on Sept. 6th. It was a good experience. Many Friends were able to join us as well as David's Family and my extended Family including My Mom's Sister, April, and her Husband, Dann. Her Brother-in-law Steve, and his Daughter, Katie and his Mom, Anne. As well as one other cousin of mine, Michelle.

We were blessed to have David's Grandparents there. As well as his Parents, Siblings: Dan and his family, Deborah with her family, and Douglas.

We stayed through Tuesday the 8th.

When we left Utah, David was realitivly ill. He had a fever by the time we arrived home. I was about 12 hours behind him. Elysia, Abby, and Jacob all got sick as well. We all made a full recovery within about a week or so. We are thinking it was the new virus.... aka Swine Flu and are happy to possibly be over and done with it.

About a week before the blessing we reconnected with Chris and Marci Landon. We had met them in Colorado Springs Easter of 2004, and only knew them for 2 months before we moved back to Utah that May. We had only seen them once since then. They are great friends, and we have had a lot of fun with them and their 2 children.... and are excited to have many more adventures with them now that they are living in Utah!
